Research reveals that blocking exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) produces significant symptom changes in 90% of patients with autoimmune disease. No longer can it be ignored that man-made electromagnetic radiation poses innumerable risks to human health.

In a recent case series, patients wore shielding clothing and tenting consisting of silver-coated polyester threads interspersed with bamboo fibers that were partially capable of blocking penetration of microwave electrosmog. Due to anecdotal testimonies of improvement, researchers decided to distribute standardized garments that would shield the brain and brain stem in order to systematically analyze the results.

In this study, 64 patients with assorted autoimmune diagnoses such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis (MS), Sjogren’s syndrome, and celiac disease, many of whom were disabled and house-bound, were recruited. Subjects wore the silver-threaded cap for four hours at night and for four hours during the day, and patient-reported outcomes were collected. Impressively, 90% of patients indicated a “definite” or “strong” change in their symptomatology, which is at variance with the 3% of the population that is estimated to be sensitive to electrosmog.

Some researchers have attributed this so-called electro-hypersensitivity (EHS) or idiopathic environmental intolerance (IEI) to the nocebo effect. However, Dieudonné explores the possibility of a psychosomatic mechanism in the journal Bioelectromagnetics, and concludes, “Overall, symptoms appear before subjects start questioning effects of EMF on their health, which is not consistent with the hypothesis that IEI-EMF originates from nocebo responses to perceived EMF”.

In this groundbreaking study, it is also telling that the researchers found the therapeutic efficacy of the silver-coated caps to be so theoretically plausible that they decided the idea of using a control group was unethical. These authors concluded that autoimmune patients exhibit a pronounced susceptibility to electrosmog at levels normally encountered in home and occupational environments, and hypothesized that the exposure may be contributing to their disease etiology.

We are often asked why we say that reducing exposure to sources of RF and EMFs is important, especially as industry and governments say that they are safe.

We attach here evidence for restrictive guidelines written by international experts in the field of EMF research, to add to what we already have seen in the BioInitiative report.

The following is taken from the peer-reviewed and fully published paper (attached):-

EUROPAEM EMF Guideline 2016 for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of EMF-related health problems and illnesses

Common EMF sources include Wi-Fi access points, routers and clients, cordless and mobile phones including their base stations, Bluetooth devices, ELF magnetic fields from net currents, ELF electric fields from electric lamps and wiring close to the bed and office desk. There is strong evidence that long term exposure to certain EMF exposures is a risk factor for diseases such as certain cancers, Alzheimer’s disease and male infertility. Also electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) is more and more recognized by health authorities, disability administrators and case workers, politicians, as well as courts of law.

The primary method of treatment should mainly focus on the prevention or reduction of EMF exposure, that is, reducing or eliminating all sources of EMF at home and in the workplace. The reduction of EMF exposure should also be extended to public spaces such as schools, hospitals, public transport, and libraries to enable people with EHS to have access without discrimination.

Also the survival rate of children and adults with immune system disorders, and cancer depends on low ELF magnetic field exposure at home. Children with EMF exposure at home and at school have learning and behavioural problems.

This video is from the Get Wired 2015 conference and features Dr. Martin Blank – Getting Real About EMF.

The GetWired 2015 conference was sponsored by Beneficial Environments and was a response to concerns about the proliferation of wifi and mobile phone technologies.

The conference objective was to find and promote solutions to the problems arising both in terms of how to protect and shield vulnerable groups such as children and the aged but also how to encourage new safer products to be made available. In contrast to many conferences focusing on the health effects, we have looked at solutions to the problem of widespread electrosensitivity and increasing electromagnetic pollution.

Get Wired 2015 – Dr. Martin Blank – Getting Real About EMF

Dr Martin Blank earned PhDs in physical chemistry (1957) from Columbia University and in colloid science (1960) from University of Cambridge. He joined Columbia University’s Dept of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics in 1959, retired as Associate Professor in 2011 and is now a Special Lecturer. His research has been on membranes, transport processes, excitation, and recently on health effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). His book on health effects of EMR, “Overpowered: The Dangers of Electromagnetic Radiation (EMF) and What You Can Do About It” was published in 2014.

During his tenure, he had short-term appointments at 11 universities around the world, as well as at five industrial research labs and the US Office of Naval Research. He also organized many meetings, including two World Congresses on Electricity and Magnetism in Biology and Medicine, 4 Erice (Italy) Courses on Bioelectrochemistry, and he started the Gordon Research Conferences on Bioelectrochemistry. He has been Chairman of the Organic and Biological Division of the Electrochemical Society, President of the Bioelectrochemical Society, President of the Bioelectromagnetics Society, and has been on editorial boards of Journal of the Electrochemical Society, Bioelectrochemistry and Bioenergetics, Electromagnetic Medicine and Biology. He was editor of the 2009 special issue of Pathophysiology on EMR. He has published over 200 papers and reviews, as well as twelve edited books on electrical properties of biological systems, including the Proceedings of the First World Congress on “Electricity and Magnetism in Biology and Medicine”, “Electromagnetic Fields: Biological Interactions and Mechanisms”. He was one of the organizers of the online Bioinitiative Report, and edited the 2009 update in Pathophysiology.

An EMF Filter is a well-tried and tested electrical engineering solution to problems of electromagnetic (EM) pollution. Each home, clinic or office takes between 3 and 15 filters to reduce the GS units of dirty electricity, ideally down to 30 for people who are electromagnetically sensitive (ES), or down to 50 for others.

To ensure that you get the best results with your filters, we recommend that you either buy a Stetzer Microsurge meter (or get a reduced-price one, with one of the filter packs shown below) or arrange for an EMF survey for installation of the filters. Measuring with a meter determines the optimum positions and quantity of filters to minimize the GS units of dirty electricity.

EMF Filter

We recommend 3 filters and a meter at first, since using the meter you can find the best location for your filters in your home. Three filters are the minimum number that brings the GS units of dirty electricity down in most situations.

It is a series of articles on the most frequently asked questions to help you understand and get informed about electromagnetic pollution. Guy recommends you read this as a good introduction to this sometimes confusing subject that affects us all.

There is a growing body of scientific research on the biological effects of EMF on multi-cellular organisms and the EMF Health Effects. It is not rocket science to understand that those biological effects can adversely affect your health. Some EMFs are beneficial to your health, others positively harmful (particularly over time).

To reduce the EMF health effects, there are a number of strategies which can be employed. Starting with changes to the way you use technology and the use of EMF protection and shielding.

I didn’t think EMF protective clothing would work. But it does – brilliantly!
Even if your main problems are headaches, covering your body with clothing reduces the radiated pollution into your body – so that your nerves and blood get protected in those areas.

Practicality and affordabilitiy and not least taste or how you like to look!
The best option where you can carry on wearing what you like to just upgrade your protection with our range EMF protective clothing of a T-shirt, top or sport shorts and hat liner.

The material has been developed specially for this purpose in Germany by a leading textile company there. The EMF protective clothing material is soft, stretchable, washable in the wool wash and very comfortable to wear.
